Large Truck & Big Rig Accidents
Accidents involving large trucks or big rigs frequently cause severe injuries and extensive vehicle damage. Semi-trucks are involved in 8% of all traffic accidents and 11% of fatalities in the United States, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association (FMCSA).
If you have been injured in a collision with a semi-truck, tractor trailer, or other large vehicle, it is in your best interest to contact an experienced truck and big rig accident attorney, as these accidents require special expertise. For example, trucking companies frequently have “black box” recorder devices installed on their rigs and it is imperative that your attorney knows how to obtain this information and use it to your advantage.
